Ben & Jerry's Fresh Georgia Peach Ice Cream

Want more from Genius Kitchen?

“The best way to capture the elusive flavour of summertime. Ben and Jerry prefer small peaches because they have more flavor and less water than the larger ones. Prep is 2hrs 15 mins which is almost all chill time. Freezing time is however long it takes for your ice cream maker to freeze it.”

This is right out of B&J's ice cream recipe book. They do not cook their custard base first...just how it is. Doesn't make it wrong. It's fine. If you get your eggs off of a farm, you might want to use a cooked base recipe but in 30+ years of making ice cream base with raw eggs from the store, which are cleaned and refrigerated...I've never once gotten sick. Remember in the Rocky film where he is swallowing eggs to train? And in the 50s one of the most popular drinks was an egg flip or an egg cream. I really hate to see people spreading paranoia re eggs. Did you know, PhytoMan, that the outside skin of cantaloupe has more chance of having salmonella, than storebought eggs? And when you draw your knife through it to cut it, you contaminate the fruit, and then eat it raw. But do you know anyone who has ever been truly sick from it? Ever handled a lizard or turtle? Their skin is full of salmonella. I don't mean to diminish the seriousness of someone who suffers from contracting it, but other than keeping such risks away from small children, it's just part of life. Take care, but don't lose sleep over it. And try this ice cream base-- it's fantastic! (All their flavors basically 2 cups cream, 1 milk, sugar, eggs and then all the good stuff.)
